world’s smallest
3G routing
matrix U
K based TV equipment
manufacturer TTR have just
released a new range of compact
broadcast quality 3G routing
matrices designed from extensive
customer feedback. The entry
level router is a desk mounted 4X2
re-clocked dual output device,
this was developed for use in
edit suite applications where the
operator has local control of a
front panel mounted interface.
Adding to the range is the stylish
1u rack mounted versions in
4x2, 8x2, 8X4, 16X2 and 16 x4
combinations. All routers have local front panel
and RS232 control functionality.
The router footprint is small
measuring only 142 x 62 mm
making this design the world’s
smallest 3G matrix, it will lend
itself to small custom designs
where space is at a premium.
After much research TTR have
also incorporated a version into a
custom Rack mount 1U case thus
allowing a mix and match product
format within a 1u rack space.
Recent customers have purchased
a test pattern generator and 4X2
router combination all mounted in
a dual 1U case.
When tested in the lab on a
1080P 50Hz test signal jitter rates
of less than 0.15UI have been
observed making this matrix a
strong contender for the high end
broadcast market.
